Default Normal...

As it happens, I had my GS3 in for service for that particular issue... dealer claims it's normal.

Its normal open your rear doors with the car on and you will notice they will shake a bit from the vibration on the engine. I tryed it with serval GS's and they all do it. The gs is a pretty loud engine outside of the car. I too was dissappointed with the idle sound but it is normal or its the way that all of them sound.

Pobably is normal, depending on what the noise is...

is it more of a ticking?? cause the new RX, GS, and IS's have the same "loud" noise..

it's the fuel injectors ticking that accounts for most of the noise...
